Since we’re currently in California and surrounded by these gorgeous lush trees, I figured a themed snack was in order. Made with just pretzels, chocolate, and plant-based food dye (plus optional raisins and sprinkles), these palm trees are such a fun snack activity to make with the kids.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay down pretzels with enough space between them to draw palm tree leaves.
Melt your milk chocolate and coconut oil together. Mix until smooth and drizzle on the pretzel sticks.
Melt your white chocolate and coconut oil together. Add your green food dye and mix until smooth. Using either a piping pen or spoon, spread the chocolate out on the top of the pretzels and shape as palm tree leaves. We found that thicker chocolate didn't melt quickly and stuck together stronger, so make each drizzle thick with chocolate.
Quickly add green sprinkles and raisins for coconuts. Freeze for 15+ minutes, and enjoy!

What kind of white chocolate chips brand do you recommend?
Hi! We love the Whole Foods 365 brand white chocolate chips (dairy), as well as Enjoy Life and Pascha (both vegan and school safe).
